I got tired of inaccurate Spain salary calculators, so I built one using the official 2026 tax rules
Hi everyone,
After spending weeks comparing job offers in Spain, I realised that most salary calculators were either outdated, missing regional taxes, or gave different results for the same salary.
As a bit of a finance nerd, I ended up building one for myself using the official 2026 IRPF brackets, Social Security contributions and regional tax rules.
I thought some of you might find it useful too, especially if you’re:
Comparing job offers
Planning a move to Spain
Trying to understand your real take-home pay
Wondering whether Madrid, Barcelona or another region makes more financial sense
I’ve also started adding practical guides about salaries and the cost of living, rather than just showing a number.
The calculator is completely free and doesn’t require registration.
I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback from people who are already living in Spain or planning to move here. If you spot anything that’s inaccurate or missing, I’d much rather improve it than leave it wrong.
Thanks!
